Gameday thread: Round 3 Hawthorn v Richmond, MCG 7.10 Sat'd 9 April

[Bosk]

I'll revisit this thread after the final whistle, now I'm off to watch the game.

I expect us to win convincingly given the Tigers are missing their best defenders, but I'd settle for a four quarter effort and a close win.

 

[macdaddio]

Geez it's raining hard here in the south eastern subbies, might be a hard game to watch, I hope I can find some nerves of steel and watch the entire game..

 

[CAPTAINCRAWF]

Oh my Lord Burgoyne is one classy player in the wet!.............. and in the dry for that matter

 

[PlayHard]

It's amazing what happens when you kick straight.

May the trend continue.

 

[Badesumofu]

I think Buddy's rain shield is covering the whole team - you'd hardly know it was wet-weather footy for the most part.

 

[grizzlym]

Hodgey!

 

[HolyRioli]

7.1.43


That's ok I guess

 

[TAITA]

Nice start.

Why the hell is Lane banging on about Tasmania at the start of the telecast?

How much AFL footy would of our Tasmanian brothers enjoyed without us?

 

[Beandip]

Wow, to be going at 76% efficiency in pouring rain is a real testament to the quality of our disposal.

A few quick points before I head back:
Matt Suckling has really impressed me, he showed some genuine pace to chase some people down, didn't know he had it in him.
Savage is cementing his spot like crazy, he is calm and collected in traffic, and a good user.
Burgoyne... wow is he skillful
Hodge smother on Riewoldt as spectacular as it was hilarious
Buddy gave away another stupid free, he really doesn't have to be doing them, but Clarko benched him! I like that!

 

[Dewnior]

Great 1st qtr boys!!

 

[Flamin Joe]

Love seeing Burgers up forward. Silky, classy goals.

 

[HolyRioli]

Guerra in trouble

 

[Dewnior]

Fingers crossed on goo

 

[grizzlym]

That crumbing goal of Burgoyne was brilliant, especially considering the conditions.

 

[Brown Blood]

Why the hell is Lane banging on about Tasmania at the start of the telecast?

Because he's a fuc*in tosser!

So's walls & lloyd as well - but for other reasons

 

[Flamin Joe]

Love the run! Making the Tigers look like the Gold Coast at the moment.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

That crumbing goal of Burgoyne was brilliant, especially considering the conditions.

It is amazing how crisp his possessions always are, he seems to be in slow motion. In for an explosive year...

Gibson 10 possies, Jack 0!

 

[HolyRioli]

Goo back on the ground

 

[Roddy27]

Goo back. Solid start. Too many players falling over.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Guerra back on. Go the goo!

 

[Noneedforaname]

Goo back on is great news. Don't know who Im listening to, but they mentioned he may have broken his leg

 

[hawka187]

Just as we expected, great start hawks

 

[cuttlefish]

Appreciate the coverage from you lot. Keep it coming...

 

[Messenger]

It is guaranteed that in any Hawthorn game Tim Lane calls he will call Josh Gibson "Shannon Gibson".

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

This is a clinic!! Savage with a ripper.

You wouldnt know it was wet. The hand skills of Buddy, Rough, Sewell, Burgoyne have been outstanding.

Gibson having a blinder against Reiwoldt. Jack's chucked his toys out of the pram already haha,gave the Hawks bench the bird when getting subbed. That kid has some serious anger issues.
